I have a standard sports 330ci facelift

Wondering if i can purchase somethingh to make the Tyres stick stick out a bit more as it will be a cheap mod but have a significant impact on the look of the car.

Anybody knw what to buy? Other than fatter wheels lol

What is the current offset at the moment, you could go for hub centric spacers which is what I am doing as I have E46 M3 Evo rep wheels which could do with sitting a bit further out so I will be getting some hub centric 10mm spacers which also come with longer studs.

Wheel spacers. Get good quality ones. I hane 7mm hub centric H&R spacers between my BBS LMs and the wheel hubs. You can get them from Roy.

For your OEM wheel, you can use up to 7-10mm spacers.

Is it possbile to jack up the car and fit your self? I am guessing it just a case of taking the tire off chucking the spacer on and thts tht?

Ignore my ignorance please lol!!!

As far as I am aware that is the case, jack up, wheel off, spacer on, wheel back on, use new longer nuts and voila you are spaced out ;)

Yep Roy for spacers although teddy may do aswell, think they work out about £50 - £70 for all four wheels for hub centric ones.
